Reply to comment by twinsnek in Akko 40 percent in the works. Aside from QMK, what do you want to see on it? by NatureAndArtifice

That's why I don't consider endgame to be a permanent state.

Had you asked me, before I won that Dilly at the meetup, I would have told you I was perfectly happy with the keyboards I had at the time, both at work, and at home.
I would have told you that because I WAS perfectly happy with both setups...at that time.

At this point, those boards don't hold the same level of contentment for me anymore.
I've gotten used to new features I don't want to give up, particularly the split spacebar.
That one feature opens up all kinds of new pathways to explore.

If I may ask, how many keyboards do you own (both at home and work), and do you actually circle around between them or do you have a main one and the others are for specific situations or for the collection?

Sticking strictly to mechanical keyboards, I have 2 1800s, my 60% ortho, a 3x10 ortho I won at a meetup a few months back, and a hand-built macropad I designed.
I also have a 60% case I just received that will house my next custom build.

I use the two 1800s at home, on two different computers.
I use the 60% ortho at work, and have the macropad sitting on my desk there, mostly as a decoration.
Once I finish my next build, I will be rotating that one into primary use at home, and sell one of my 1800s.

I used the 3x10 ortho for a bit, just to play around with, and get some ideas from.
That board is what threw me down the "design my own layouts" rabbit hole.
It triggered a bunch of "what ifs" in my head, which ultimately led me to my current custom layouts.
